Get Millie Black episode 4 focuses on Janet, the teen girl from Kingston who dreamt of making it big in life. Freddie was her ticket to the life of luxury she envisioned for herself, and his sudden demise messed everything up for her. As it turned out, Lance Stennet did not miss his target, and Freddie got shot. After learning that Luke Holborn was a dirty cop, Millie could not risk involving him in her investigation. She escaped from the spot with Janet, and she chose not to bring her to the police station. Instead, Millie decided to interrogate Janet alone in the hopes that she would confess the truth if she was not under observation. But Janet refused to give away information. A reduced sentence for cooperating with cops was not the route Janet was willing to take; instead, she was searching for an alternative option that would help her escape this hellhole. Can Janet ever leave Kingston? Let’s get into the details of episode 4 of Get Millie Black to find out.
Spoiler Alert
What information did Janet offer?
Millie arrived at her boyfriend’s restaurant to get away from Luke Holborn. She immediately called her contact in London and told her about the possible connection between the Metropolitan detective and the abduction of nine-year-old Romeo. Millie begged her to find information on Romeo Lawrence. Millie turned her focus to Janet, who refused to spill any secrets. She blamed Millie for ruining her shot at traveling to London. She had assumed her life would completely change once she stepped out of the country, and she could not make peace with the fact that she would have to stay back in Jamaica, possibly locked up in prison. Janet was searching for a way out, and Millie was not her answer. She attempted to escape when Millie brought her to the Gully, but she was unsuccessful. Janet broke down; Millie tried to reason with her, stating that Freddie was not the solution she was searching for, and when it came to falling in love, Millie reassured her that she would find love again, a man who, unlike Freddie, might be her own age. Janet explained that it was not Freddie who was using her; she believed it was the other way around. She had her eyes on Freddie the moment she realized he was the boss. At school, the bratty girls would shame her for her financial condition, and she aspired to be more than just another educated clerk. She wanted luxury, and the minute she laid her eyes on Freddie, she knew that he could provide all that she wanted from life. She flirted with him, and he took a liking to her, and that was how their relationship began. She liked to think she had always been the one in control.
Millie was intrigued when Janet mentioned working at Somertime Tours. As it turned out, the family used the travel business as a front for human trafficking. Millie informed Curtis about it, and when they arrived at the travel agency, they discovered the dead body of Miss Val; she used to run the trafficking business. Just like the Somerville family, she had been killed, possibly on the same day. It was obvious that the players involved in the intercontinental human trafficking business were desperate to cover their tracks.
Janet felt sick, and she rushed to the washroom. Millie did not think that she would attempt to run away again. By the time Millie checked the washroom, she was already gone. Luke had been following Curtis, and he ended up at Somertime Tours as well. He followed Janet when he saw her run out of the store through the backdoor, but he lost track of her. In the meantime, Millie informed her boss that Janet had escaped, and about the possible connection between Luke and the human trafficking business. But her boss advised her not to trust the rumors; after all, Luke was a dignified Met cop, and she did not think it was fair to make such allegations against him without evidence. While Millie tried to find Janet, she asked Curtis to check if there were any flights booked for future dates by Somertime Tours from the flight log that she had collected from the airport. Curtis contacted his boyfriend, Daniel, who worked at the police station, to check the flight log. Daniel texted Curtis that a woman by the name of Daphne Leighton had a ticket booked under her name; he also attached her address.
Who did Janet call for help?
After managing to escape from Millie, Janet realized that she could not survive alone, and she had come up with another plan to escape from the country. She contacted Luke Holborn, and they met at an eatery. Janet had overheard Millie mention that Luke was a corrupt cop who possibly worked for the UK-based criminal gang, Sanguis Meridian, during her call with Curtis. At that very moment, Janet devised a plan. Instead of confessing the truth in exchange for a reduced sentence, Janet decided her silence could be more valuable for those willing to pay. She figured Luke could help her connect with Lindo, a key figure in the UK gang scene. Janet was ready to help Luke find Millie if only he was willing to convey the message to Lindo that she was willing to work for him. By not giving away any vital information to Millie, Janet thought she had proved her loyalty to him, and she also assumed that Lindo would see her as a useful tool instead of a threat. Luke pretended not to know what she was talking about, but when he figured out Janet knew he was corrupt, he agreed to the deal. While Luke thought a call from Janet would be enough to lure Millie, Janet suggested using Hibiscus to get to the detective.
Why did Luke shoot Janet?
Millie received a call from Hibiscus; she was in distress, and she begged Millie to help her. Millie arrived at the location her sister had mentioned, but she was surprised to find Luke Holborn there. She knew he would try to reach her, but she did not expect him to stoop as low as hurting her sister. Millie calmly placed her gun on the floor. She was baffled to see Janet with Luke. She figured Janet had conspired with Luke against her. Janet was proud of her move, and she emphasized how Millie too had tried to use her, but she was smart enough to get things done her way. All of a sudden, Luke pointed his gun at Janet and shot her in the head. Just when Janet assumed she was close to the life of her dreams, it was taken away from her. She thought she had learned to play the game of gangsters, but she did not realize that the people she wanted to work for were ten steps ahead of her. Luke had figured that he would only need Janet to find Millie, and once the detective walked into the room, Luke presumed there was no point in keeping Janet alive. She was a liability who could ruin everyone’s life if she decided to spill the secrets. Janet’s desperation to leave Kingston likely resonates with the emotions of many youngsters living in the town. They were desperate to build a better life, and sometimes it came at a hefty price.
Millie attacked Luke, and just when he was about to overpower her, Hibiscus grabbed hold of a dagger and stabbed him in the back. Millie and Hibiscus ran away from the scene. Millie knew she would be in trouble if she was found anywhere near the body of the esteemed cop. Hibiscus was visibly disappointed when Millie mentioned that she would be traveling to find Romeo. Given how quickly the situation had escalated, Millie could not risk losing Romeo. Hibiscus thought Millie’s compulsion to rescue the little boy stemmed from her childhood desire to protect Orville (Hibiscus’ dead name before her transition). Millie begged her to manage on her own while she went out in search of the truth. Even though Hibiscus worried about losing her sister, she accepted Millie’s decision and wished her the best.
What was Millie’s plan?
Millie arrived at Daphne Leighton’s house, the woman who was supposed to travel to London the next day. Her tickets were booked by Somertime Tours, and that was how Curtis had tracked her. At the very end of Get Millie Black, Millie revealed that she would be traveling instead of Daphne to ensure Romeo’s safety. Daphne was hesitant; she wanted to leave the country, and she could not make sense of the threat Millie kept talking about. Millie was certain that, just like the Somerville family and their associates were killed, Daphne too would meet with the same fate. Millie refused to let Daphne take a chance, so she decided to arrive at the airport pretending to be Daphne. She had to make sense of the madness that had been unleashed because only she could put a stop to it. All she had to do was find Romeo and bring down the gang in the UK. It was a tough decision, but Millie believed she did not have a choice. She asked Curtis to find a safe house for Hibiscus during the time she would be away. Curtis tried to stop her; he stated how Millie barely looked like Daphne and that she was biting off more than she could chew but she did not listen.
Millie arrived at the airport and listened to a message from her boss, Barracat. As someone who had known Millie for quite some time, Barracat was certain that Millie had put her job on the line because she was determined to answer everyone’s questions only after she had the entire situation under control. She asked Millie to finish whatever she was up to as fast as she could so that she would not lose her job. Millie dropped her phone in the bin and walked away. The ending of Get Millie Black episode 4 suggests that Millie would travel to the UK and familiarize herself with the Sanguis Meridian gang. She will try to make contact with Pia Williams, who according to her data was the last person to have seen Romeo. Her decision was extremely risky considering she would be carrying the entire operation alone, and one small mistake could cost her life. But Millie was ready to risk everything to ensure that the little boy who was taken away from his parents returned home safely.
